My daughter tells me I need to see the therapists that she and her husband saw when they did marriage counseling. They are a husband and wife team. I am going to call them tomorrow. I have gone to counseling off and on throughout life and I think it's time for me to go again. There must be some reason why I think I NEED a man to be happy, and why I always seem to pick losers. The last 2 were both mamma's boys.

I have a really hard time getting my hair to curl. I used to get perms all the time, but they never took and they damaged my hair so badly. That's what I need. I need a cut that looks ok but requires not much maintenance. I guess I think like Mac. I wear makeup if it's something special. If mineral wear requires little time to get it on and look good, I am willing to try it. How do they figure out which color to get. I don't think I can do that online. Hey thanks Bob. VA tells me you'll play tour guide while she works, so there is no way I will forget you!

That sounds really great. I am definitely going to need a make over if I am having any pictures taken. My daughter uses that bare minerals. Isn't it really expensive? I got her some off the tv when she wanted it for Christmas. It must be really worth the money if all of you think it's really great. Sounds like I need to bring A LOT of money. Shopping, hair, makeover, lol. Do you take cabs to the casinos? I've heard that's easier than fooling around with parking garages. But what the heck do I know?

And while we are on the subject of fussing, what about your hair? I have completely straight hair and I don't know what to do with it. I have no clue how to style my hair.

What is up with all these girls that want to shop at vicky secrets? I just don't get the appeal. I guess I am just too cheap!

I have been doing much better today. I have been more in the "screw him" mode rather than remembering all the good times. His whole family is crazy. I have 3 different friends who are therapists and they all said the same thing. Everyone in his family is so self absorbed, they think everything is all about them. the guy I started this thread about and I have been emailing. He is messed up too. he seems really nice , but not anyone I would want to meet. I think there is a reason these men my age are single. They are too screwed up to be in relationship.

So lets get back to talking about other women's daily concerns and issues. I have another one. Do all of you wear make up all the time. I have never been one that likes to fuss around with stuff like that. My daughter tells me all the time I need to wear make up. I have never seen the point of it. I will put it on if I am going someplace special. I wear glasses so I always say you can't even see my eye make up. I would love to get that eye surgery so I didn't need glasses anymore. Maybe that will be my next big expense. That foundation stuff is bad for your skin. Plus then you have all that hassle every night of taking it off. I Know some women who say they would never even consider leaving the house without "putting their face on" Your thoughts???

Okay ladies, we can't these guys beat us out here. Get in that powder room and start posting. There has to be something interesting we can post and share about!

It's crazy how all the doctors have a different post op diet. I wonder why that is. Glad to hear you're doing well Helen. Try to measure if you need to so you don't get too full. I have been too full before and it's been extremely painful.

I have been looking everywhere for this fage yogurt. Every store I have been in around here has never even heard of it. I am going out of town this thurs. so I may look for it at trader joes. Does costco carry it . I will definitely go there for their premeire Protein bars. I hate the premeire Protein drinks that everyone likes, but I love the bars. I can only eat half at a time. They are really big.

I didn't want to buy new clothes until I absolutely had to. Once I started wearing clothes that weren't falling off of me, I got comments nearly every day. It's hard though, to wear more form fitting clothes.When you're fat, you're so used to wearing loose, long, baggy things trying to cover it all up.

I love Talaipia too. Never even thought about the Geo. Foreman. That's a great idea!

Judy I am thrilled to hear this! It will all work out with the lay off. As you said before, God always provides for you!

Yeah, I was thinking that same thing.

I have been taking Biotin because it's supposed to be good for the hair/hair loss. I just noticed on the bottle it says" Calcium or other minerals can block the absorption of many medications. Do not take this Biotin within 2 hours of any medications. this is getting tricky.I was taking my calcium and all my Vitamins and supplements together. So am I not supposed to take my acid reducer within 2 hours of anything else? What about the calcium? Am I supposed to not take that within 2 hours of taking anything else? Hope someone knows the answer to this. I don't want to be taking any of this stuff and have it not being absorbed.

I get my calcium citrate from vitacost.com They are chewable and don't taste that bad. You can get so many things there, and the prices are fabulous. the shipping is the same no matter how much you order. I think it's 4.99

It took me about 30 lbs before my clothes were falling off of me so badly that I had no choice but to get some new ones. The new clothes made a difference. The ones I was wearing were to baggy, you couldn't see the loss.

Oh Tiffy I feel so bad for you. You have really been through the wringer..

Oh, I am really surprised they didn't tell you that you needed to stay on an acid reducer. It seems to be pretty standard with all sleeve surgeon's aftercare.

Exercising is not only good for the body it's great for the spirit and moods too. I am glad to hear your found some place you like Judy. I see people posting on that other board about having plateaus and stalls, and exercise is the best way to avoid all of that.

No, I don't think that was what it was from. It started when we were having a really good time at his family reunion. I definitely think there is something going around. Several people I know having been feeling nauseous too. I am just glad it's gone.

Hey that's good to know!

You are all so sweet. It means a lot to me.

I have little nylon shorts that I wear with a swim suit. That's the best I can do. My fat rolls around my middle don't look so bad standing up, but sitting down is another story. I always wonder how much of it is just skin. I will never know.

Bill is in desperate need of therapy. His whole family is dysfunctional, and his way of dealing with things is to just not talk about it. He will never be happy.
